Arrival/Activation. (20 mins)

 AIM:

To both practice and understand the importance of a Change Of Direction (COD) and Change Of Pace (COP) during a match day scenario.

SET-UP:

The central square is the COD/COP area. Players are challenged to dribble into the area, carry out a COD/COP and play a pass onto their team-mate in the opposite side (IE: Red 1 plays to Red 2, Green 2 plays to Green 1). Once the pass has been completed, the passing player joins the back of the line in which they were passing to.

COACHING POINTS:

* Head up to dribble... small touches to dribble and progress to longer touches to RWTB.

* COD first (step over, Cruyf turn, drag back, inside/outside of feet/etc) then progress to COP.

* Fix eyes on target to pass to, use inside of foot, follow through to target.

* Once pass has been played accelerate to back of line ... NO WALKING OR JOGGING!!

Practice 1 - Central/Wing play (FOT). (35 mins)

AIM:

To further touch on, practice and understand the importance of confidence with a low driven ball from out wide that we practiced a fortnight ago.

SET-UP:

1- Player initiates play with a pass to central player.

2- Central player plays out wide to either wing (alternate between L and R each time).

3- Whilst winger dribbles/RWTB into the space ahead, both previous players make a movement ahead and into space to finish on target from a low, driven ball.

4- Winger drives the ball low and with pace into the "danger area".

COACHING POINTS:

* Central players MUST receive on the back foot of the direction in which they will be passing the ball onto.

* Winger MUST receive ball on the back foot of the direction in which they will driving into.

* The 2 x attacking players are challenged with getting forward quickly, but whilst remaining behind the winger (Coach, explain WHY!).

* The winger is challenged to drive the ball low and with pace into an area difficult for any Goalkeeper (Coach, use GKs to show the rest of the group WHERE they wouldn't be comfortable with coming out to!).

* Consider using a couple of cones for both attacking players to shift around if they're getting too far ahead of the winger!

Can we finish first time? Can the leading attacker "dummy" for the ball to run onto the next attacker?

PROGRESSION:

Use a spare player as a defender, taking up position behind the central player...create immediate 2v1.
